Uppsalaekonomerna’s President visits Nådiga Lundtan
Commercialism: It is everywhere. From Uppsala to Lund. In fashion, in sports and in social media. It seems like you can never escape the reach of today’s commercialism. Some lose hope in humanity and society, others see possibilities. Being president of Uppsalaekonomerna, one might think that I am the number one competitor of our counterparts…
Inspector’s Page: Time of Terror
So many people have suffered this autumn, and so few have done anything really effective to help. There have been worse times in history, but it has been a while since leadership was so needed and yet so absent. The terror trade has been industrious and successful during an eventful and deeply depressing autumn. Over…
Alumni: Björn Hellqvist
What did your student life look like? ”When I came to Lund, I was quite frankly overwhelmed by the amount of people that wanted to be involved in all of Lund’s organizations. Being involved in everything during my high school years, I decided to slow down and only played a minor part in Göteborgs Nation’s…
China & Their New Two-Children Policy
Followed by the closing of the senior Communist-party in Beijing on October 29th 2015, a very important policy has caught the attention of the whole nation.

Interview with Jesper Sundström – eee
Tell me about eee! ”This year is the 32nd edition of the eee-days – as you might know, significantly older than LundaEkonomerna!

Everything is Relative – Part 2
In the previous issue, Nådiga Lundtan #124, I wrote about change and the difference between absolute and relative gains. If you measure your well-being in comparison to your neighbor, rather than looking at your own progress in isolation, you are looking at relative gains. This point of view can be extended to society, companies and…
Is Ignorance Really a Bliss?
It is around 2:32 AM and as I light my late night cigarette after a hard nights studying for an upcoming exam, hearing the tobacco crackle as I inhale, I can not help but catching myself genuinely complaining about school and how sick and tired of it I am. I inhale an extra big whiff,…

Interview with LE Band
Adrian Schmidt! Tell me about the band, how come you started it? ”Well, it was actually during welcome week at last year’s novice period when Malin Mörk, by that time working with the Social Committee, said they wanted to start a band and needed someone to pull it through. It sounded good to me since…
Candy on Credit
This autumn, I started to consume increasingly more and more sweets, something that soon escalated into a full-blown sugar addiction. Generally, I allow myself significantly more treats than I did before my time in Lund, in spite of indebting myself. Through all these treats, I spend money that I have not earned, but rather loaned.…
